Impact
The Baidu SEO Collection plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows attackers to upload any file without type validation. An unauthenticated attacker can place a malicious script on the server, potentially enabling remote code execution. The flaw falls under CWE‑434 and can compromise the entire site if exploited.
Affected Systems
WordPress sites using the Baidu SEO Collection plugin, versions up to and including 2.0.6, are impacted. The plugin is identified by the vendor product name kelerkgibo:SEO合集. Sites that have not applied a later version are susceptible.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating critical severity, and an EPSS score of 2%, suggesting that while exploitation is possible, it is not yet widespread. Attackers can reach the vulnerable functionality without authentication, upload arbitrary files via the download_remote_image_to_media_library routine, and if the file is executable, run arbitrary code. The issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog but remains a high‑risk concern for exposed WordPress installations.
